Good for you, fam. You definitely got my respect and always thought of you as a stand up dude from your posts in the CBB thread.
All you need now is for Renardo to get his $@$+ together and you're good

NOW THAT WE HAVE CONGRATULATED OP... (WHICH HE DESERVES)... LET'S BE REAL AND ANSWER HIS QUESTION...
How would I feel if my son told me he was gay?
On the real, although I have no biased towards the homosexual community, a selfish part of me would INITIALLY feel a sense of disappointment or failure as a father. Every man wants his son to grow up and have a wonderful life. At first glance a 'wonderful life' usually entails money, success, and happiness. As a father I hope to one day watch my son progress in sports, school, and socially. For my son to open up to me about his sexuality AT FIRST would give me the initial thought that I will never get to see him accomplish these things and a part of sadness would come over me. But once I look into his eyes and realize that he truly is the blessing in my life, realize that he can still accomplish those things, and what HE must be going through, that sadness would turn into happiness and sense of pride for the man he has become. To truly be a wonderful father you must love and care for your children.
cliffnotes - initially I would be hurt/disappointed, and then really proud and understanding

You never had a girlfriend in 33 years? I'm sure your parents knew something out of the ordinary was going on. Glad they accepted you for who you are, I can't say my parents or even myself (when I have children) would react the same way.

Congrats OP. Glad to hear you got this off your chest.
For your question; I wouldn't care at all. My sister's gay and it doesn't bother my family in the least. I'd accept my kid for whomever they like. It seems kinda shallow for people to be disappointed considering it's what makes their kid happy.

yeah, i don't understand his response. homosexuality isn't a crippling disease, anybody can experience everything highlighted regardless of whom they sleep with.

On a personal level, if it was up to me, I would LOVE to one day watch my son grow up and play sports, go to college, meet a girl, get married, have kids, etc. The initial reaction to finding out he was gay would make me think that I couldn't ever see those things happen, especially being a grandfather. I'm just being honest, because that is what OP was to his family, and what I think he wants and deserves from us.

understood.
and to be honest, i thought the grandchildren thing might be their biggest disappointment. but even that could still happen (certainly not in the traditional sense, though).

acceptance is the difference that makes or breaks the rest of your life especially your parents. Since they did I can see you being happy for a long time. Good Job man
